Carnivorous Dinner at Blue Fire

Had dinner with the usual gang at Blue Fire, Docklands last Thursday. That was my first time eating Brazilian food called Churrascaria where several kinds of meats are served in a all you can eat type of dining. I can say that if one is feeling carnivorous on a particular day, you should go to a Churrascaria restaurant.

entrees which contains pita bread and dips, salads and olives. The capsicum dip (on the furthers left) was to die for...gotto learn how to make that dip....the potato and ricotta cheese tasted a bit bland and dry for a dip while the corn relish was so so.

the only veggies we'll ever get during the whole course....love the glazed carrots. The roasted potato was drenched in some type of oil that I could not identify... cajun spiced? The corn cob was so juicy that when I bite into it juices squirted on to py's face....sorry girl... hehe

Hunger was making my hand shake...hahaha...the choices of meats are chicken, lamb, pork, beef, chorizo sausages, fish and calamarie. All the meat was marinated in different kind of spices and grilled over the fire (they even have live feed on TV so you could see what meat is being grilled right at that moment, though I do not see the point in that). I liked the calamaries and the sausages the best, they were grilled to the perfect condition (cooked and still juicy). however the other meats are quite dissapointing. The fish was quite dry, same goes for the chicken. The lamb on the other hand was quite good as I got a part that was done medium well and was still moist inside, however the second piece they gave me was very dry that i had a hard time chewing it. The beef was too rare for my liking and the knife given was not even able to cut it into smaller pieces (how do you cut through beef using a butter knife?).

Dipping sauce for the meat cuts. From left to right. My guessing would be, barbecue sauce, dijion mustard, sweet pickled onions

My desert. House cheesecake with vegetable root base and marmalade glazed top and rasberry sauce on the side. I did not expect to like the based but it was my fav part of hte cheesecake. It had white chocolate underneath it to hold it together. The marmalade glazed took off a bit of the sweet edge of the dessert but I thought it was a bit tad too bitter.
Chocolate tart with ice cream on top and chocolate sauce. So far this was the best dessert in the restaurant.Baileys and chocolate mouse.While walking back to the car...I came across this...
RUSSELL CROWE's star!!
I did not know that Australian had a walk of stars. But it was quite small as compared to the ones in Hollywood. None the less its still a star.

I would like to go back to Docklands when the sky is bright as even under the night sky the atmosphere there looks nice. Some how it reminds me of Harbour Front in Sydney. Fish and chip at the waterside anyone? Hopefully there is not many seagulls there...won't want to get lucky again.
